Great Barrier Island - 'a world of its own'.
This unique and beautiful island lies 30 miles off the NZ coast just north
of Auckland and is famous for its largely undisturbed beauty.

From white, sandy beaches to sheltered
bays and steep forest covered hills to mangrove estuaries the
Barrier has a diverse landscape. There is a variety of walking
tracks from the short walk to visit a waterfall or some hot springs
to the longer walk taking you to the highest most point of the
island, Hirakimata (Mt Hobson).

Take a trip back in time to when roads
were unsealed and drivers acknowledged one another. There are
no banks, no traffic lights and just a few shops. Water is
mainly what comes from the sky and power is generated by
generator and/or alternative power systems.
